Our attorneys have significant experience representing corporate and individual fiduciaries, beneficiaries and charitable organizations. We handle all aspects of probate litigation including challenging, and defending challenges to, petitions for probate, defending, removing and appointing trustees and executors, compelling and defending fiduciary accounts, prosecuting and defending claims of wrongdoing by fiduciaries, and bringing and defending claims for interference with inheritances. When handling any such case, we employ a team approach where our litigators work closely with our trust and estate lawyers to bring to the case both expert litigation skills and a broad and deep knowledge of the substantive law. Where appropriate, we also assist fiduciaries and beneficiaries in resolving disputes through mediation.
We also have extensive experience presenting complaints for instructions and declaratory judgment actions when a trustee is faced with ambiguous or contradictory language in the governing instrument. We have also successfully prosecuted actions seeking reformation of defective trusts. Our successful handling of these matters has resulted in significant tax savings for our clients. Our attorneys bring to these cases a thorough knowledge of the substantive law as well as a keen understanding how to most effectively obtain the relief desired through the courts.
